Need W. Village no res. place for tonight

Going for an early dinner tonight and don't have a reservation anywhere, so since we will be eating at 5:45 I figured we'd likely have our choice of places that don't accept reservations. My usual go-to is Blue Ribbon Bakery, but we were just there a couple of weeks ago so we'd like to go somewhere else. Suggestions? I'm open as to cuisine type. Preferences for places within a few blocks of the 1 stops at Houston, Christopher, or 14th St.

Our beautiful Easter centerpiece bread offers a healthier take on the classic egg- and butter-enriched bread. It’s made completely with white whole-wheat flour and less added sugar (in this case, honey) than many traditional recipes.

This stew is based on the savory rice porridge congee, which has roots in Chinese, Thai, and Korean cuisines. Though the dish uses some classic Asian ingredients—such as fish sauce, ginger, and bok choy—the flavors are not aggressively Asian.
